There was a threatening storm luring in the village making the villagers take a safer refuge. In the middle of the storm was a six-year-old beggar Fyokla. She is running looking for her Uncle Terenty. She needs to see the village's cobbler to rescue his brother Danilka who happened to have his hand trapped inside the hole while playing with her.
As soon as she saw Terenty, she told him about their trouble and they hurriedly went to Danilka in the forest.
